Enter your company name, Corporate Access Number, or Business Number to see its status, due date, and file in one step.
Nova Scotia Annual Return Filing — $239 + applicable tax, all-in (including government fees).
Every Nova Scotia corporation has to file its annual return with the registry office every year. Filing an annual return avoids the potential administrative dissolution of a business.
Government fee included. Filed within 1 business day. Deadline monitored every year.
The Business Corporations Act requires that certain statutory filings be made in order for a corporation to remain in good standing and compliance. If the filings are not completed in accordance with the Act, penalties and fines may be incurred or the corporation may be dissolved by the Registrar.
All corporations under the Business Corporations Act are required to make certain filings, including the Annual Report/Return. Every corporation (even if it is not operating) must file an annual return along with the filing fee to remain ACTIVE.
The basis for filing is the Anniversary Date of Incorporation. The annual return needs to be filed prior to the next year's due date. Failure to file results in a letter of intent to dissolve from the Registrar.
Once dissolved, the only way to keep doing business with this corporation is to revive it, which can be very costly.
We'll pull your registry record, confirm what's changed, and file. No lawyer needed.
